INTRODUCTION

When users run Microsoft Windows Messenger 5.0 for the first time, they are prompted for the service they want to use and for a sign-in name to connect to Microsoft Office Live Communications Server. You can run a batch file on the user's workstation that will automatically populate the sign-in name field.

MORE INFORMATION

To automatically populate the sign-in name field with the user name that the user uses to log on to the domain, run the following batch file on the workstation:

reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MessengerService /v "UserMicrosoft RTC Instant Messaging" /t reg_sz /d "%username%@domain.com" /f > nu

Note This line may wrap for readability, but it must be on a single line in the batch file.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
